Let's Go To Work Urges In Hitting Negative Attitude on Schools
Lenox superintendent Hiram F Battey urged about 50 parents and teachers at a PTA meeting to support added educational facilities. He warned enrollment will rise, classrooms overcrowd by 1959, and double sessions may be needed, with 300 students affected and transportation costs rising. He criticized local opposition to a school building committee and described improvised measures like repurposing spaces at Lenox High School. A public meeting on building plans will be held after the committee compiles facts.
